Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 One thing that has come out of this is the power being given to Police to remove face coverings ........ can't imagine there'll be too many more riots any time soon, but you watch them use that power when the EDL next march!

mackem 26,163 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I was at Wood Green Crown Court today with a mate,just went to give him moral support,couple of guys were being sentenced for their parts in the riots,one 20+ year old kid got 14 months for taking a couple of items from a shop,I was chatting with a solicitor,he said the sentencing guidelines are far stricter for rioters,chatted to a couple who's 26 year old son was being sentenced,he had been on remand since the disturbances,he had burgled a shop and thrown bricks at a cop-car according to his mum,it hasnt just affected the lives of those active participants,his mum was a bag of nerves,and of course there were the victims of the looters themselves.

poacher3161 1,766 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Just goes to show how scared the authorities are if these riots are repeated maybe next time it wont be over some dead plastic gangster but the ordinary working people rioting as things get worse and worse.
